The last part of the ride focuses on trot work. Steffen wants a higher level of collection in the trot so they work on doing a few half-steps. They come back briefly to the walk, but Steffen wants the horse to quickly go back to the trot all while still staying supple in the bridle. They work slightly forward and then back to half-steps with a focus on the hind legs that have to come under the horse body to help balance the transition.
